TOPS with Wampire – Monday, October 27th @ DC9
Get to DC9 early to catch Canadian indie-rockers, TOPS open for Wampire. Smooth and mellow, their music brings to mind images of a lazy summer spent lounging in the sun. Vocalist Jane Penny’s voice rises clearly over the band’s cool instrumentals. Tracks like “Sleeptalker” and “Easy Friends” stand out from the rest.

BABES with Russian Red – Thursday, October 30th @ DC9
Babes has been described as “a locomotive sex drive down a trail of tears.” A band with a description like that is only begging to be seen live. Babes has a repertoire of emotional love songs, such as “You & Me” and “Isn’t It Love,” so get there early and feel the feels.

BRANCHEZ with RL Grime – Friday, October 31st @ 9:30 Club
NY-based producer, Branchez, has the Midas Touch — every song he touches turns to a sort of euphoric gold. His signature soul-club sound fits in perfectly on this EDM-filled bill. Bangers will be abundant, so be sure to get there early to catch his set, and maybe he’ll even drop his popular remix of Rihanna’s “Stay.”

WET with Sohn – Saturday, November 1st @ U Street Music Hall
Wet has only one EP under their belt thus far, but this trio from Brooklyn is not one to be missed. With all of the electronic bands out there, Wet manages to distinguish themselves from the rest with their slow burners, especially “Don’t Wanna Be Your Girl.”

CHROME SPARKS with The Glitch Mob – Sunday, November 2nd @ Echostage
If bleeps and bloops are your thing, get to Echostage early to catch Chrome Sparks lay down a set full of synth. Chrome Sparks makes music that straddles the line of being not quite chillwave, but not quite dance music. Instead, his music draws from all ends of the electro spectrum, resulting in sounds that are lush and expansive.
